I'm going to do a re-read of

I don't know what language this is written in, but I'm using the book for this challenge as this copy has a rose on it. And I have not books finished for this challenged. :) GoT is doing me in!

Yeah I won't be finishing this challenge I don't think. Nothing I'm currently reading has roses on it, though I do have a second pearl book I'll probably finish tomorrow, which isn't even needed for the challenge. LOL
